Geocache Description:


Palindrome: a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of symbols or elements, whose meaning may be interpreted the same way in either forward or reverse direction. Examples include “Avid, Diva “,"A man, a plan, a canal: Pannama“,"No ‘x’ in ‘Nixon’". Composing literature in palindromes is an example of constrained writing. The word “palindrome” was coined from the Greek roots palin (“again”) and dromos (“way, direction”) by the English writer Ben Jonson in the 17th century.

A palindromic number or numeral palindrome is a number that remains the same when its digits are reversed. Like 16461, for example, it is "symmetrical". Palindromic numbers receive most attention in the realm of recreational mathematics.

I thought we would have a little numbers fun for this challenge but keep it simple. Here are the requirements:

You only need 2 caches to qualify. You must find 2 caches on the same day that are palindromic and they MUST be in the 4-5 D/T category. You must include the GC and date of the find in your log. All previous find dates count.

 

I was surprised to find that I had actually completed this palindrome challenge twice. I have listed my qualifiers below as proof it can be done and also as an example. Another example would be a 1D/4T and a 4D/1T on the same day .

 

Any logs without proper documentation or ratings below a 4D or 4T will be deleted with no questions ask. The ratings for the  hide itself is a 1.5/1.5.
